The Palau government will be supporting Turkey government’s bid for the United Nations Security Council seat for the term 2009-2010.
President Remengesau in an interview said that Palau is throwing its support to Turkey.
Last week Turkey Ambassador Aydin Sahinbas met President Remenegsau to deliver the letter of Turkey President Ahmet Necdat Sezer asking for support from Palau.
Sezer in his letter to President Remengesau said that Turkey is candidate to one of the two non-permanent seats allocated to the Western European and Other Groups in the UN Security Council for the term 2009-2010.
The elections for the seats will be held during the 63rd Session of the UN General Assembly in 2008.
Turkey has not been represented in the Security Council since 1961, when it served for a split term with another country.
The Turkey President in his letter stressed that his country has actively contributed to the efforts to preserve peace and stability at the regional and global levels and has supported the UN activities in social, economic and humanitarian fields.
